Case in point both Instagram and X have removed the account of @eyeonPalestine
Website for reference: https://www.eyeonpalestine.ps/eye-on/index.html
@eyeonpalestine was removed after showing signs of the account being compromised. NBC
These accounts were initially locked for security reasons after signs of compromise, and we’re working to make contact with the account owners to ensure they have access
Why not make it read-only until they make contact with the owners. Seems like an awfully convinient excuse otherwise.
Facebook are pretty upfront about the reasons for taking down accounts. It's possible before they were detected they managed to upload some stuff that would get the account banned right away.
Oh, so some guy posts CP to Twitter, Twitter removes the post and reinstates the guy entirely .... but it's tooootally not suspicious when FB nukes an account from orbit for "signs" of being compromised...
Yea, no. I call BS.
X (formerly known as Twitter) is a different company than Facebook. They have different policies.
Facebook tend to be upfront about the reasons they removed an account. And they'll ignore any and all evidence to the contrary after they've made that decision. There was a guy who hit the HN frontpage this week because he can't advertise his online courses on Python and Pandas. Apparently they thought he was trying to sell live animals instead of teaching people how to do data science.
Twitter just does whatever Musk wants this week.
Way to miss the point. They're pretending to be up front. The real reason is the censorship you're so adamantly denying.
Perhaps you can calm down and wait for eyeonpalestine to actually publish a statement before jumping to conclusions?
